Similar to past releases such as “Rap Or Go To The League,” 2 Chainz continues to have wonderful production on his albums. Standout tracks on the album include “Outstanding”, “Kingpen Ghostwriter”, and “10 Bracelets.” All of which contain features that were as strong, if not stronger than that of 2 Chainz himself. Not only did Lil Baby have a more impressive verse, but it sounded as if the beat was made specifically for him, causing it to not feel like a 2 Chainz song at all. For example, Lil Baby on “Kingpen Ghostwriter” overshadowed 2 Chainz’ own performance in numerous ways. While of course there were some exceptions, the most memorable parts of the album were from guest features. While this is generally known and expected from the rapper, he made up for it in other ways in the past such as enjoyable adlibs, and almost comedic punchlines, which were mostly absent in this album. Out of the 12 tracks on the album, there were very few notable verses by 2 Chainz himself, due to him using mostly similar flows and having a lack of lyrical depth. The album “Dope Don’t Sell Itself” contains 12 tracks, and a star-studded lineup of features, including Lil Baby (“Do We Have A Problem?”), Roddy Ricch (“LIVE LIFE FAST”) and 42 Dugg (“Cold Gangsta”). In preparation for the new release, 2 Chainz performed a freestyle for “Power 106 Los Angeles” over the classic beat of “Passin’ Me By” by the Pharcyde (“Humboldt Beginnings”). The excitement for “Dope Don’t Sell Itself” has been growing over the past few weeks, after its release date was announced on Jan. The newest album may be the final from the artist, following a tweet in July: “this gone be my last trap album, enjoy.” Rap veteran 2 Chainz (“Grey Area”), formerly known as Tity Boi, returns after two years, following the release of “So Help Me God!” in 2020.
